Motorola MOTOSHOT L11 Shows Its Face Again

We’ve met this Motorola concept phone a couple of months ago and saw it in the hand of David Beckham, at least in theory. check out the following pic for a fresh image of the device designed by Ravefolk from the Motorolafans forum.

Thumbnail Watch goes where no watch has gone before

Thumbnail - ZerOne Magazine If you’ve seen the last Die Hard movie, the villain has one of the best quotes ever when it comes to technology. He tells John McClane that “he (John) is a Timex watch in a digital world.” In all honesty, I’m not certain that anyone is using watches, digital or analog, in today’s society. I stopped wearing one long ago when I got my cellular phone.

It appears that Timex is completely reinventing the watch with the Thumbnail watch. The company had a design contest to come up with a new design for the watch, and this is one of the better entries.

I have heard that the Thumbnail watch is designed to slip over your thumb, so I’m guessing that no Lee Press-on nail action is required. The time glows on your thumbnail, and it can light up and change modes just by pressing the end of the thumbnail.

I can’t quite figure out what type of technology is used to make this device work. If this is some new sort of LCD, then why not apply it to all the nails. Can you imagine having a computer interface like this on all on your nails?

Maybe your cell phone could be on your pinky, so you can take calls by making the “phone” sign on your hand. The iPod on your ring finger, and a ring could be the speaker. Your middle finger could be a Blackberry, but just be careful not to flip people off when checking your e-mail. The pointer finger could serve as a digital camera, and all you would need to do is point and shoot.

We’d better see where the Thumbnail watch goes before we speculate on the other fingers.

MobiFrance Concept Phone, the Perfect French Gift on July 14th

MobiFrance celebrated the French Independence Day on July 14th by showing the world a neat concept phone shaped like the Eiffel Tower. The concept bears the name of FL (French Luxury) and it’s a touchscreen handset with a 7.2 megapixel camera.

If you hold the phone vertically it looks just like the famous French monument, the Eiffel Tower and you’ll also notice that it features speakers on its sides. The FL supports multimedia playback, features a vibration mode and that neat touchscreen is an OLED display. No news about the price of this beauty, but it’s pretty interesting to see the Sony Ericsson branding on it.

Opera has posted online the reason why Opera Mobile 9.5 launched Delay.Opera Mobile 9.5 should be release on 14 July.

As you can imagine, we encountered a few bugs last week that we needed to fix before we launch. Our engineering team worked through the weekend to fix the bugs.

The fixes are almost complete now, but we need two more days to run the build through our quality assurance testing. The new launch date is now set for the 17th.
